Barrow on Trent is a popular and unspoilt village lying about 6 miles to the south of Derby City centre.  In a typical village setting, it offers a wide variety of cottage style and more modern housing, and the school premises are situated almost opposite the village war memorial.  The appeal of the village has been considerably enhanced with the by-pass and Twyford Road being the main street through the village is now a particularly quiet and attractive setting.

It retains ornate parapets with finials, and the west gable still incorporates the school bell.  The accommodation which is arranged on one floor currently provides for an entrance lobby, two class rooms, a wash room and an external boiler house.  Externally there is a play yard, shed and wc's.
